Part Ways with 30 EUR to Become a Happy Owner of Scythe Choten

The Japanese vendor of CPU coolers, Scythe, has enriched its collection with the Choten cooling unit. The novelty costs approximately 30–35 euro, however, it doesn’t look like a low-end sample. This product has a top-flow construction that makes air go down in the direction of the mother card, thus providing efficient chilling of the processor and important components, placed around the CPU socket.
 
This wonderful cooler possesses a horizontally located heatsink, four 6 mm heat pipes and 120 mm Kaze Flex 120 PWM fan. The propeller rotates at the 300–1,200 rpm speed, while producing the airflow of up to 87 m3/h at the 4–24.9 dBA noise level.
 
Dimensions of the Scythe specialty are the following: 130 х 120 х 130 mm. Its weight reaches 550 g. The manufacturer does not specify, which TDP rate this device is intended for, but we suppose everything is OK with compatibility. The Scythe Choten cooler isn’t able to operate with AMD TR4 and Intel LGA 2066, but it can be easily used with all other modern consumer-oriented platforms.
